Chocolate Novaks

I don’t know where these cookies get their name, but I do know that they are a crowd pleaser. And with no baking involved (just a little stovetop work) they are great for these hot summer days. Heat, mix and drop – so simple and so very satisfying.

Ingredients:

2 cups white sugar

⅓ cup cocoa

½ cup milk

4 T butter

⅓ cup peanut butter

1 T vanilla

3 cups quick cooking oats

Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. In a saucepan set over medium heat, combine sugar, cocoa, milk and butter. Bring to a boil and boil for one minute. Remove from heat and mix in peanut butter and vanilla, then stir in oats until well combined. Place spoonfuls of oat mixture onto waxed paper and set aside to dry.
